Students, staff show off new labs at Foothill College

Touring the newly opened Physical Sciences & Engineering Center at Foothill College, it's easy to forget you are on the grounds of a community college. Considering the center's 65,800 square feet -- replete with state-of-the-art equipment and a forward-thinking, elegant design -- you would be forgiven for believing you were at a top-notch UC or private university.

I am glad to see that Foothill, our local Community College, is stepping up to the challenge of training scientists and engineers. Perhaps some of them will end up working on the new Samsung Research Center,

It makes me proud to see my old alma mater get the same tools I got to use at Cray Research 35 years ago. Getting a Failure Analysis, Q/A and Test Engineering job should be a snap.( Yes, I've done all three in my career )
A 3D printer/Desktop Milling Machine is the future of Engineering. No more waiting for 6 weeks for a prototype part/assembly after submitting drawings.

The Architect "Ratcliff" and General Contractor "Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Co." did an amazing job bring this incredible facility to fruition. Great job on the design and quality of construction!
